It is critical to make industries more sustainable, but we also need to ensure a Just Transition for workers. Our new 'Global Garment Workers Count' paper katalystinitiative.org/working-paper-… documents the size & shape of the global garment workforce - essential for Just Transition planning.

#Breaking EU Member States formally adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive #CSDDD this morning – the final sign-off of this landmark corporate accountability law - after almost a decade of advocacy. Member states have 2 years to transpose into national laws

The week explores how due diligence and other value chain regulations are put to practice through technology (eg for risk assessment, chain mapping, data collection, stakeholder consultation, ...). What do these tools offer, in what framework do they operate & what are limits?

Een Europese wet verantwoord ondernemen is binnen handbereik. Maar Macron, Meloni en de Duitse liberalen hebben hun oren laten hangen naar de fabeltjes van de bedrijfslobby. Het kan nog, maar de tijd dringt voor lidstaten om het akkoord alsnog goed te keuren #IMVO#WetgevingNu

Katalyst participated in the @OECD Forum on the garment sector this week. A good reminder that definitions of 'progress' towards a fair and sustainable industry vary enormously depending on who you're talking to.

We joined @cornellilr Global Labor Institute for a series of presentations on 'Higher Ground' - a report KI contributed to about heat and flood risks to garment workers. One of the highlights was a roundtable at the European Parliament, with @saskiabricmont and @cleanclothes.

KI's Martin Curley was a guest lecturer this week at @cornellilr. Joined Prof. Sarosh Kuruvilla's class on labour practices in global supply chains & had a great discussion with students on the role of NGOs in trying to secure responsible business conduct.

Two themes from yesterday's workshop that should inform the final #CSDDD: 1. Justice is only possible if people have realistic ways to access its systems; and 2. Businesses alone cannot be allowed to define effective due diligence. @ECCJorg @foeeurope @Frank_Bold

Katalyst was pleased to contribute policy analysis & data insights to this new @cornellilr report on the need for climate adaptation to protect garment workers, companies & economies.
Cornell ILR School@cornellilr

Climate breakdown could cost the fashion industry up to $65bn in lost export earnings and up to 958,000 jobs by 2030 if adaptive strategies are not put in place. Read more from our latest research, in partnership with @Schroders Click here to learn more bit.ly/44Qnkof
